Chapter 80
After an unknown period of silence, Cang Qing finally spoke.
"Everyone says that the master's death was due to his poor judgment of people, mistaking enemies for friends. Even Mr. Qian and Xiao Yezi think so."
Cang Qing spoke calmly, without any emotion, as if he were recounting something very ordinary, but the content was completely unexpected by Luo Heng.
"Actually, that's not the case. The master's demise was to protect the God Realm. The master made a deal with the core of the God Realm, exchanging his own life for the peace of the God Realm!"
Luo Hengzhi was taken aback upon hearing this, and frowned: "Your master sacrificed his life to shield the God Realm from calamity!"
Cang Qing: "Yes!"
"The divine realm will face a calamity, and only your master knows about it. Even Elder Qian and Little Yezi are unaware?" Luo Hengzhi asked again.
Cang Qing: "Yes!"
Luo Hengzhi looked up at the full moon hanging in the sky and sneered, "Then your master is truly selfless!"
“That is the master’s duty!” Cang Qing said.
"But who appreciated his kindness?!" Luo Hengzhi questioned coldly. "No one knew that the God Realm would face a calamity. Everything he did, sacrificing his life, was unknown to anyone except you. What was the meaning of his sacrifice?!"
"Is it worth it to be labeled with all sorts of accusations even after you're dead?"
Cang Qing looked at the furious Luo Hengzhi with suspicion in his eyes, as if his master would never say such a thing!
"Master is a divine lord, the ruler of the divine realm. Master does things without expecting anything in return!" Cang Qing replied angrily.
Luo Hengzhi raised an eyebrow and smiled: "You're already angry? You're quite loyal to him!"
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
“Master, you are the same person. You just haven’t regained your memories yet, which is why you can’t understand the situation you were in back then,” Cang Qing quickly explained.
“Yes, I can’t understand it, but let me ask you, if he died, he died, so be it. Why should Xiao Yezi be reincarnated and suffer?” Luo Hengzhi’s voice was low, his eyes cold as he stared at Cang Qing.
"Since the Burial Curse was already listed as a forbidden curse by him, how did it end up in Ye Zi's hands? Tell me!"
Cang Qing was startled by that cold gaze and suddenly knelt on one knee: "It was your subordinate. Your subordinate took it upon himself to decide that Qing Ran would definitely not allow Master to return to the God Realm as he wished. Therefore, Master needs a guide, and that can only be Xiao Yezi. Xiao Yezi is different from others in her feelings for Master. This bond has existed for ten thousand years and will surely continue into reincarnation. As long as Xiao Yezi is also reincarnated, she will definitely be able to reunite with Master."
"Cang Qing!"
Luo Hengzhi's eyes were sharp. "You still won't tell the truth? If it were really as simple as you say, how could Ye Zi have needed to use the Burial Curse to kill her own ten-thousand-year-old original body first!"
"Xiao Yezi's original form was an ancient spirit. Once reincarnated, it would definitely attract Qing Ran's attention. Therefore, the best way is to reincarnate as a celestial being, which can also undo the path of cultivation that Qing Ran cut off, and successfully lead the master onto the path of cultivation!" Cang Qing explained.
Luo Hengzhi closed her eyes briefly, as if she were a little tired, and when she spoke, her voice was hoarse and several octaves lower: "Did your good master instruct you to do all of this?"
"No!" Cang Qing shook his head. "Master's departure is resolute!"
"The master had no intention of going back; the Self-Burying Curse was originally created by him for himself!"
This was something Luo Hengzhi hadn't expected: "Why?"
"I don't know either!" Cang Qing confessed truthfully. "I guess it might be... loneliness."
"The master had severed all emotions and desires, and his feelings were detached. Although he treated Xiao Yezi differently, he himself could not see what kind of feelings those were!"
Cang Qing paused, glancing up at Luo Hengzhi. "Also, everyone says that Master and Qing Ran are close friends, but that's not true. Master is indifferent to everyone, because Master has no emotions at all!"
"Moreover, the claim of being a close friend was something Qingran deliberately revealed to others on her own. The master knew about it, but didn't care much!"
"No feelings?" Luo Hengzhi asked, her expression forlorn. "Then why do you say you're lonely?"
Cang Qing: "Loneliness... that's just my guess. Since Master is always all alone, I think Master must be lonely!"
Luo Hengzhi scoffed, "You certainly know how to make excuses and add drama for your master!"
Seeing Luo Hengzhi smile, Cang Qing silently breathed a sigh of relief!
"Step down."
"yes!"
next day
When Ye Zi woke up, Luo Hengzhi was sitting beside her, flipping through the "Yi Huan Dual Cultivation" manual from the previous night.
"Is there a problem with the cultivation technique?" Ye Zi asked, standing up.
Luo Hengzhi shook his head and helped Ye Zi put a cushion behind her to make her more comfortable: "Although there were some problems last night, it is undeniable that this technique is useful. Once the restrictions on her body are lifted, the effect should be more significant."
Ye Zi nodded: "Did you see the blue light emitted from the barrier?"
“That blue light is related to Qing Ran, so the restriction on you should also be related to Qing Ran. I guess it was placed by Qing Ran, so Qing Ran must be able to open it.”
"Hmm." Luo Hengzhi grasped Ye Zi's hand and patted it. "It's alright. Cang Qing has already told me about Qing Ran and me. He needs me to return to the God Realm, so he will definitely come... Just wait."
After Luo Hengzhi finished speaking, he recalled the dream in which the cultivator refined his heart, and now there was a restriction on his heart. The two must be related!
"Master, we're here."
Long Bao and Huo Feng ate and drank to their hearts' content all night, and early in the morning they arrived in Longming City with Xiao Yuan. The three of them jumped directly into the bedroom through the window.
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi were still sitting on the bed, looking up at the three young boys who had suddenly appeared.
The three boys also looked at Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi, or rather, stared intently at Ye Zi, and then slowly approached.
"Master." Fire Phoenix lay by the bedside, her eyes wide as she looked at Ye Zi, "You..."
"You can tell?" Ye Zi smiled faintly and rubbed the little head of the fire phoenix.
Fire Phoenix nodded vigorously, and Dragon Treasure and Little Ape also lay down by the bed, surrounding Ye Zi. They didn't know why, but they just really wanted to be close to Ye Zi.
Long Bao: "So it turns out that Master Ye Zi's original form was Hong Mei, an ancient spirit!"
Little Ape: "The book mentions that ancient spirits controlled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, possessing powerful healing abilities that could protect all living beings in the myriad realms!"
Fire Phoenix: "Yes, Master has recovered his ancient spirit body, so the spiritual energy of this world will be revived. At that time, all things will be reborn, and the extinct spiritual herbs and demonic beasts will also be reborn."
Hearing the three's discussion, Luo Hengzhi realized that he couldn't see Ye Zi's ancient spirit body, probably because Ye Zi's cultivation was much higher than his after her original form recovered: "Can demonic beasts be reborn?"
Wouldn't that lead to chaos?
Ye Zi noticed a hint of panic in Luo Hengzhi's eyes and reassured her, "Beasts can only be reborn in specific deep mountain areas. Ten thousand years ago, the beast and human realms established a rule: beasts cannot transform into human form and will be directly eliminated by the Heavenly Dao if they trespass into the mortal realm."
Hearing that there was such a rule, Luo Hengzhi felt a little relieved!
At the same time, I am glad that we prepared in advance, which made Hengduo's new product launch even more necessary!
Hengduo Technology's new product launch started at 10:00 AM. Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi arrived at the Hengduo Building at 9:30 AM with Yun Xiang and others.
Xu Yue was stunned for a few seconds when he saw Luo Hengzhi and the others suddenly appear in the office. Then he regained his composure and stood up calmly.
Xu Yue had already used the Spirit Detection Tree sent by Luo Yi to test his dual spiritual roots, and had now begun cultivating by drawing Qi into his body, so he was quite accepting of this kind of situation.
While Xu Yue was talking to Luo Hengzhi, his eyes were fixed on Ye Zi: "Boss, you finally brought your sister-in-law here. I've finally met her."
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Xu Yue." Xu Yue said, reaching out to shake hands.
Luo Hengzhi slapped away Xu Yue's hand that was reaching for Ye Zi and asked directly, "Is the stuff ready?"
Xu Yue rubbed his hand, which had been mercilessly slapped by his boss, and replied, "Both materials were sent over overnight and should arrive after the press conference."
Luo Hengzhi nodded; he trusted Xu Yue's abilities.
After Xu Yue finished speaking, he looked at Yun Xiang and the others. His boss was taking his sister-in-law out, so why were there a group of beauties with them?
Worried that his boss had started a harem, Xu Yue bypassed Luo Hengzhi and asked Ye Zi, "Sister-in-law, who are these... seniors?"
Yun Xiang: "We are disciples of the Lingju Sect. We came here because we were interested in today's new product launch. We don't know if we are disturbing you."
Xu Yue waved his hand: "No, no, if our new product launch could be attended by all of you seniors, our event would definitely be even more popular."
Beautiful women are a resource, and this is a group of beautiful women, so the buzz surrounding them is bound to explode!
As Xu Yue spoke, he led Yun Xiang and the others to learn about today's exhibits. Yun Xiang and the others happened to be interested in modern technology, so they were happy to follow along.
Luo Hengzhi then took the completed spaceship and went to the research and development room with Ye Zi. After handing the spaceship over to someone and explaining the requirements, the two of them headed to the press conference location.
Because this new product launch is of great significance, the venue was chosen to be a large stadium near Hengduo, where the main venue is spacious and open, which is conducive to product display!
Hengduo officially announced in advance that Luo Hengzhi would personally host this new product launch event!
The press conference was about to start in ten minutes, but because the stadium was so large, it felt empty and there weren't many people there.
Upon entering the stadium, the front row was occupied by several reporters specially invited by Hengduo.
In addition, the entire press conference was simultaneously broadcast live on multiple online platforms.
"The stadium is so big, how come there are only a few reporters like us? It feels so empty and deserted."
"Who can argue with that? The press conference didn't reveal any details. I wonder what big surprise Hengduo has in store for this time?"
"I say, aren't you surprised that Luo Hengzhi is hosting this time? I've never heard of any connection between Luo Hengzhi and Hengduo?"
"We'll find out what their relationship is in a bit. I guess Hengduo is after Luo Hengzhi's popularity. Luo Hengzhi is a hot topic magnet; anything related to Luo Hengzhi never goes down in terms of popularity."
"But this is a new product launch, so we still need to look at the quality of the product, not just whether it generates buzz."
"Guess what role Luo Hengzhi will attend in? It can't be the developer, can it?"
"Stop discussing, Luo Hengzhi is here."
Before these words had even finished, Luo Hengzhi had already stepped onto the stage, and at the same time, the screen behind him lit up: "Cultivating Immortality for All, Let's Go Together!"
"What does 'everyone cultivates immortality' mean?"
"I don't quite understand. Today's topic is cultivating immortality..."
"Hengduo is quite up-to-date with current events!"
Just as all the reporters were filled with doubt, another sentence appeared below, causing a stir of shock at the scene: Chairman of Hengduo Technology: Luo Hengzhi.
"Holy shit..."
"Holy crap, Luo Hengzhi..."
"Hengduo actually belongs to Luo Hengzhi, is this really necessary?!"
"I never expected to have this identity."
Then the hushed discussion stopped, and the sound of camera shutters popped up one after another!
All the reporters focused intently on taking photos and transmitting the high-resolution images as quickly as possible.
Luo Hengzhi: "Welcome everyone to the Hengduo new product launch. Without wasting any time, let's get straight to the first product: Manned Flying Sword - Flying on a Sword!"
